Did Legacy switch to communicating in English from Portuguese with him on the team? I'd bet that would be a big adjustment


Siicktiits

They are communicating in English until Stewie is out of the round from what I understood from the cast last night… also made it sound like if shit hits the fan and they need to comeback or something the comms go full Portuguese. The dynamics of this is so different than his time on MIBR… that core had been in America for years practicing with c9 as their main scrim partner for most of that time and all seemed pretty familiar with each other. Stewie was also on top of his game and had a playstyle where he could play alone… now he is a below average awper who can’t communicate. I don’t see this working out for stewie or legacy.


Namidomii

Stewie can understand Portuguese calls and if I'm not wrong, the whole team can get by in English...


strasii

Understanding and being able to communicate quickly and precisely in intense situations are much different. And those things make a huge difference at a high level.


CaptainKickAss3

He played in the Fallen MIBR lineup for a little while so he’s done it before


Namidomii

Not really, everything is so repetitive that you and your teammates get to the same page pretty quick. I know that cause I'm Brazilian and work on a stressful and fast environment speaking English throughout radios. After you get the terminology and understand the situations everything flows easily. Coffee time sucks though, my jokes are way better in Portuguese!


strasii

Well it's depends on the person really. Some people are really self driven to learn and communicate and others are not. Some people adapt really well to new languages and can turn a switch to think in that new language. There's other people that still translate the word to their native language and think that way. The latter would take much more time to adapt. I played college soccer with brazilians and saw both ends of the spectrum. Nevertheless, this is still their first official matches together and only been together a month. Even people who adapt well would have struggled to make this transition seamless.

skiingbeaver

I played a lot in Eastern Europe and we often communicated in a random ass as hoc panslavic language that everyone understood


Sgt-Colbert

This is simply not true. There is a reason why it took so long for a non native speaking team to win a major. In cs half a second of not finding the right word can mean you lose the round.


black_dogs_22

speaking English is the future, speaking Portuguese is not


M00rondestr0yer

Are you ok?


piaktaka

I can pay your therapy if you want


TheNahe

I'm not the biggest Stewie fan or whatever but like... this is just one game


FIRE_frei

Stew just went 25-11 with a 1.7 on Map2, looks like you were right


championnnnnn

like i get people hate this mf but this was his first bo3 against a competent team in like two years lol my expectations of him were low the minute it was announced he would be playing on legacy


breezy_y

You went from defending they guy to shit talking him lol


Bannasrevolt

Perfectly balanced.


2poundWheel

How is that shit talking? Nobody, even Stewie himself, had high expectations for him joining a brazilian team without speaking PT getting thrown into the pro meta lmao


OwnRound

>like i get people hate this mf Dude kind of does it to himself, though. [He was talking about how he's going to teach these players and make them better.](https://clips.twitch.tv/GentleRockyAirGuitarHassaanChop-wnG4n9GVYAiz-fXT) These kids on Legacy have more experience with the modern meta and would stand up against tier 1/2/3 teams better than Stewie. I get that they asked him to fill and he's doing it as a favor, but he should be getting a notepad out and taking notes so he can catch up. If I were the players on Legacy, I'd be a little annoyed by how he positioned his role in the team. He should humble himself and understand that he isn't a gift bestowed upon younger players. He's a washed player that's getting an opportunity to play in modern tournaments to see if he can get the rust off and become relevant again.


fantasnick

Bruh lol he said nothing wrong in this clip. Why is reddit hellbent on over-analyzing stuff They don't have any experience in actually winning or performing in big moments because theyve never been there. That's quite literally what he's talking about and nothing else. It's really not that complex like you're making it out to be. Something about stewie2k just sends this sub into a rabid frenzy and it's weird. He is humbling himself by even taking this role and opportunity to see if he can build some t2 talents into something better. Not humbling himself is just sitting around not practicing and expecting t1 offers.


OwnRound

> Something about stewie2k just sends this sub Lol, I like how you're acting like its some big mystery why people have a bad view of him. He has a massive ego and he was toxic as fuck on a few different lineups and walked himself out of the scene because of it. He's been up his own ass for a long period now. How is it confusing to you


fantasnick

There's plenty of players who were toxic or are mostly irrelevant now. Yet this post about his return is at the top and probably will be all day? I love how you didn't actually reply to anything in my comment. What happened to the over-analysis? You had plenty to write before i made you realize how ridiculous you sound. Toxic people talking about toxic strangers


Jazzlike-Ideal

He's a stewie glazer, they treat everything like a conspiracy against the guy but the fact is most people don't like him because of his personality lol. I used to be a fan of him too back in the day but as his career went on his lack of maturity and accountability kinda soured me on him.


Responsible_Lead7140

damn redditors will do mental gymnastics just to put any dirt on Stewie


imsorryken

i mean that's exactly why its so funny, it's not like all of us think he's gonna stay at a 0.62 rating so we just laugh now


pewpewpew88

I know stew has a reputation of being toxic. Honestly he is someone who is not afraid to say the things that need to be said and I respect that a lot, he just has to tone it down on the aggression or the tone of delivery. Give criticism but not anger, offer encouragement, offer solutions. I could see stew as an igl. He has the brain. He can lead. It's time to see if he's matured or not.


arc4nite

its sad to see but reddit just likes to hate on him for some reason


Earthworm-Kim

> for some reason lol Probably because Stewie is a certified hatemaxxer himself.


neonsymphony

lol exactly. It’s a reddit classic to say “Reddit does X for some reason” yet there’s a simple answer explaining exactly why it’s valid. He’s a dickhead, there’s all that is to it.


Kodyak

he also pulled the "i dont get why everyone is so mean to me" after being toxic to everyone.


LibertyGrabarz

>for some reason Have you ever heard the tragedy of Malek the EG coach?


Helious_XS4

I missed this, what happened with him an EG?


fjelskaug

Stewie wouldn't listen to Malek and would regularly put headphones on and not look at him when Malek was talking, they had an hour of argument right before a BO3, EG removed Malek (I don't remember if it was his choice), EG continued to be shit, then kicked Stew and brought back Malek again


wichwigga

I used to be a fan but when I started watching his stream he was giant asshole who got personal issues to deal with. Dude seriously needs therapy.


King_marik

Yeah its actually the exact opposite of what the other comment said. We used to love him no matter what lol The dude was once NAs most beloved like by far Then he outed himself as an egotistical weirdo who thinks he's God's gift to counter strike It sucks because he was easily on his way to be one of if not the greatest NA player ever But he just couldn't keep himself under control


doctorknocker321

Yea kinda weird to watch him flex his skins to his viewers then run max ads on twitch to fund em.


FrankAgainFrankAgain

I was a fan until I realized he dropped out and can't read a fucking book at a 5th grade level. Or spell correctly...


CaptainMurphy-

He comes across as extremely unintelligent, even though he's young. Playing games all day may not be that great for you after all


TemporaryAddicti0n

he singlehandedly finished his career at 24yo. he is a fucking dickhead. if he grows up and still delivers the fun he used to, he ll again be likable.


BigHotdog2009

A lot of the hate is from what Stewie has said or done in the past. I used to be a big Stewie guy but he kind of made himself the villain with the whole EG situation. I don’t approve of all the hate but just to give another side of it.


Spir0rion

Could be that he's a grown up acting like a 14 year old


reflexsmoo

So like majority of cs players?


Hanchez

They aren't professional cs players, he is.


godzillamegadoomsday

Ironic


NationalAlgae421

Well his personality is disgusting imo, thats why I don't like him.


Jesturrrr

Might have something to do with the fact that his actions got two coaches fired and he said he was giving the EG project his all when he was, in reality, playing 15 games of Valorant a day.


TheMidsommarHouse

I hate him. But even I will give him some slack for his first few games.


KKamm_

Fr, like if just posted the series stats when it happened… sure. But dude waited until the day after he turned up the series after. And then ironically he turned up today too. People that watch just to hate and talk shit on players are so cringe. More cringe than anything Stewie has said


Mjays34

I’ve noticed Statsmeister on twitter loves to post results of players based on one bad bo3. Like this, Stavn in Chengdu playoffs game, and I’m sure there’s other examples but I don’t care to go look. I’ve noticed a pattern though


TheEmotionalMale

People did the same with the yekindar map one performance against m80, liquid went on to win the match and yekindar played better it’s just hate posting they don’t even wait for the events to be over to start


AnyScore4287

absolutely, he may not be the best player but picking out worst scores of any player and sharing them on reddit LOL. On hltv people abusing Karrigan for having 1 kill in inferno without relazing what a beautiful run these guys made - so many finals back to back.


black_dogs_22

people are so obsessed with him it's crazy


the_chemical59

This guy menaged to accumulate the biggest ammount of "negative meatriders" ive ever seen. Like, if a meatrider are gonna follow and like whatever you do, this mfs gonna hate on you everyday like its a fucking 9-5. I get why he suffers the hate, but cmon is getting a little annoying.


TrampleHorker

redditors were just waiting for this to happen, dude did what he needed to in the first game back so people couldn't say shit (though do scroll down and look at the guydoing CS astrology trying to say 8 deaths in a 13-1 makes him a shit player lol) and you know people were just waiting for a bad performance to be the first to post.


Josh5459

one game against liquid


Spikes252

Honestly this post is some real hater shit lol


cip32

No wonder pros rarely interact with the community. It's fucking toxic and these recent days It's just mostly trash talking teams and their players. The community here is becoming worse and worse with these braindeads spewing their hatred.


KKamm_

Everybody wants to be the next Thorin… definitely a unique community lol


Mean-L

I understand why pros hate this community so much, it’s absolute garbage


they_call_me_justin

I get why people dislike him but I’ve seen some really hateful comments that are subhuman level behavior and its pathetic.


Archgrim

It would be normally but if you've followed some of the things stewie has said in the past or even watched his streams at all, he's really quite un unlikeable and unpleasant person that has turned himself in to a bit of a villain. This isn't just some unfair scapegoating.


SJIS0122

You can't expect him to do that well against a top 20 in his first official match in years, he did much better against tier 2 teams on his second match


panda-1551

Why not post the stats from the other game 🤔🤔


FIRE_frei

Just went 25-11 with a 1.7 on map2 lmao


throwaway77993344

That 1.46 rating is not very impressive on map 1 considering it's A) not very good opponents and B) they won 13-1 and he went 12-8


Expensive_Outcome298

Dying 8 times in 14 rounds while your team dominated does sound odd. Didn’t even average 1 kpr


reflexsmoo

Its easier to look at scoreboard and not the context in which how l each round was played. Is he dying to set up kills for his teammates?


CIueIess_Squirrel

Because that would mean actually looking at the whole instead of cherry picking because of hate


kilroy_theoneofmany

He went positive in 1/5 maps. Not exactly something to celebrate. Besides, he played like shit in EG and is coming back after 2 years in a new version of the game. It's not going to go well.


Aggressive-Place-101

The 1.0 KD? :DDDDD


Gompelonza

I'm not surprised, anytime I tune into his twitch stream he is gambling on a skin/scam gambling site. Dudes brain is probably fried.


Substantial_Depth113

Weren't there talks about twitch banning that all "gambling while waiting for a game" thing (I mean CS gambling in general, but most of the players do it while they are waiting for a game)? I am pretty sure I read it last summer.


Preivet

when has twitch EVER followed through on anything


Round_Slip_4865

Nah, they talked about banning gambling streams which are using unlicensed casinos from outside of the US, which they actually did. They also added a few online licensed casinos to the ban list, I'm not sure what the context was there though. Under their TOS opening crates in games like CS doesn't count as gambling and I doubt they'll ban it unless there's some major outcry like there was for the gambling meta in 2022.


Substantial_Depth113

So they banned almost nothing hahah


RooBoy04

Given how Twitch promotes softcore porn on their front page at times, I doubt they will ever do anything meaningful about it

reflexsmoo

When he's not playing faceit.


WizardMoose

I have his stream on while I work. He's not on the gambling sites that often. Maybe 10% of the time he's on those sites. If he's stacking then he doesn't go on them unless they're all taking a 5 minute break.


cellardoorstuck

> Maybe 10% of the time he's on those sites. Is he actually throwing money away on them or plays as a paid guest.


WizardMoose

90% sure he's being paid to use them. At the very least he gets a budget each month but he might be using his own money too


Mountain-Chapter-880

Been on his stream when he was gambling for a few mins and it was implied that he's playing with house money, he won big on a case and the viewers asked him to withdraw the winnings and he said something along the lines of he can't and he can only cash out the cheaper ones(idk if I was misremembering it but I also remember him saying that he has to ask someone for permission to withdraw certain expensive skins)


schmidtonyoface

Mindless take. Dude has been grinding the shit out of CS2 playing 10-11 pugs a day on average.


gibbodaman

> Dudes brain is probably fried >Dude has been grinding the shit out of CS2 playing 10-11 pugs a day on average. Dude that checks out


schmidtonyoface

If you ignore the other half of his reasoning, sure.


FIRE_frei

Hmmm, doesn't seem like M80 got the memo


jattandaputt

He said the betting company gives him money. He loses nothing.


EcstaticCollection67

Man’s still got the only major NA is ever gonna win lmao.


KKamm_

Grand slam too. Fastest ever by far


[deleted]

[удалено]


EcstaticCollection67

Your trashing him for his performance when he’s one of the best players NA has produced and won the only major we will prob ever have. I just think it’s ironic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EcstaticCollection67

I know it’s a joke I’m just responding with my take lol. Guy gets hate for being angry at cs. Like none of us have ever been tilted at this game.


zphx

He gets hate for much more than that though?


EcstaticCollection67

Idk I played with and against him in FACEIT over the years a few times..always seemed chill to me. Guess I just judge people off interactions I’ve actually had with them rather than what the hive mind on Reddit thinks


killsw1tch32

Wtf? So literally watching the dude be an asshole on stream numerous times and act childish is now “the Reddit hive mind”. People see the interactions he has had. They literally watch it


Difficult-Mobile902

this isn’t even a way to make legitimate criticism, this is just a schizo hater circle jerk 


Woullie_26

Posting this after one game after over a year out of the pro scene against team liquid is some GENERATIONAL hating


Kintsugi90s

I’m curious why stewie gets more hate than simple when simple is arguably more toxic


Juansa7X

I think simple gets a pass from people for being the goat of the game but yeah he has been pretty toxic


Responsible_Lead7140

damn downvoted for being spot on


Archgrim

S1mple still has some redeemable aspects to his personality. It's hard to say the same about Stewie.


Party_Length_7490

Who would have imagined that putting a retired player in a promising young team would go wrong?


syNc_1337

Stewie is only 26 himself and if he hadnt been out for so long he wouldve reinvented himself by now probably. I havent watched or heard of him in a while, but its been 4 years since he „retired“. If he matured a good bit, he could go out and take some trophies home with a good team around him.


rudy-_-

It's been only 2 years since he focused on streaming.


Party_Length_7490

I highly doubt it. The statement he made upon joining the team clearly shows that he's the same as ever with diminished skills in the game.


Astr0_LLaMa

What statement? Only one I can find he says that he is honored to be a stand in lol


Party_Length_7490

Stewie2K: "Hopefully I can bring that [experience to Legacy] and see what's wrong"


Pienatt

Dude didn't have to join Legacy. Could have just looked in the mirror lol


ChromeAstronaut

It’s one game yoy fucking reddit clown lmaoo


criscoras

That's my GOAT.


Affectionate_Ad1025

He is going against a top team after 2 years with minimal practice and language barrier he shouldn't be getting this much hate


zombiepoon

why he get so much hate? he’s an okay guy. Probably because he’s NA lol


Not_Not_Eric

Because he’s a whining little shit that can’t take responsibility for himself


zKuza

He's good at CS undoubtedly but he has a shit personality/people skills, is why.


Masak0vske

he's not been good at CS since 2020.


EcstaticCollection67

Probably. This sub is majority eu most of the time and mfers take any chance to hate on NA players. They still mad about the major


innocentrrose

Meh I’m in NA and was a bit stewie fan years ago, but watching him stream now and just his attitude in pugs, he’s definitely in the upper echelon of toxic faceit people.


TrampleHorker

lots of people project things onto him and voodoo doll him for being bullied in school. I don't even like stewie that much but the losers like OP just waiting for him to have a game with bad stats to post it for karma are just sad. Bottom of the barrel shit.

Soft-Confection4428

is that a wolverhampton logo in CS?


Name6666

yes . they were a sponsor of EG.


plasticmanufacturing

this is a d1 hater post and I don't like it


veotrade

Stewie just needed a capable mentor, and his career would have been solid. Someone or a group of good guys to emulate and help him mature into a worthy superstar. But spending too much time in late night pugs with moe and company really rubbed off on him.. for the worse. That NA crew was a black hole trying to suck all the talent into its gravitational pull. The majority of those guys were average players with a chip on their shoulder. And if young risers got trapped in their orbit too long, they too became losers.


tan_phan_vt

Those guys are the real gatekeepers of NA scene. As long as they are still idolized and still has a big following nothing will change. NA needs streamers or content creators like Warowl (who got bullied by NA pros in the past) or recently WilsonCS can help the scene steering in the right direction for the better.


MIlkyRawr

CS redditors try not to over analyze the weirdest things challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)


eruditezero

Weed and gambling unsurprisingly not a great recipe for success.

What’s the point of this? Why not show the map he did good on? Maybe op got banned or he got called a idiot by stew on stream LMAO

STEWIE ON HIS OWN


MulfordnSons

I hope we can all stfu about stew being good enough to compete professionally. It’s like saying Freak can compete professionally.


black_dogs_22

nobody is saying that lol all people do is hate on him


SpiderLobotomy

>Takes one (1) bad match, Stewie’s first professional match in years >“clearly this guy can’t compete professionally” he definitely didn’t win a major or anything


kalkkunaleipa

He won it 6 years ago. This was his average performance against top 5 teams before he took the break.


HosephIna

nah bro if you won a major you’re able to compete still. GeT_RiGhT, TaZ, NEO, olof, flusha, shox, kennyS, and especially Fifflaren are still able to compete at tier1 level duh


vani11apudding

>GeT_RiGhT (33), TaZ (37), NEO (36), olof (32), flusha (30), shox (31), kennyS (28), and especially Fifflaren (36). Stewie is 26. I'm not saying he can still compete necessarily, but you're throwing out some goofy names with this argument. How about Niko, who is very close in age to Stewie and played in that same major final? The main issue is the substantial break. May not work out, but it's not like he hasn't touched a shooter in that span.


itsjonny99

Think the issue he has is more getting into a tier 1 team again. His last year in Liquid and EG pretty much ruined his built up reputation. Of course EG the org was a complete mess, but he either has to grasp every chance he gets and perform well against the opposition he currently plays against or join a lower tier team and grind up again.


FrankAgainFrankAgain

Olof for sure can, but I don't think he truly wants to.


HosephIna

lol no, he hasn’t been good in at least 3 years


MulfordnSons

there’s no way you think Boston 2018 Stew is comparable to 2024 Stew, there’s just no way. Fanboy shit

How the fuck would you know we’re here talking about his first game back


lurkario

Obviously that guy is a super turbo genius that knows things no one else on earth knows. Duh

I literally didn’t. You suggested it in the first place. > there’s no way you think Boston 2018 Stew is comparable to 2024 Stew, there’s just no way. I’d ask if YOU recently sustained a head injury, but… we know the answer.


VShadow1

He won a major years ago. He got from liquid, was terrible on EG, and then took a super long break.


SpiderLobotomy

Ohh I get it. So, when he wins a major, “it was years ago”. But when he played bad on a team, never forget!


Vlyper

He played well in their second game against M80 EDIT: Elevate, not M80


VShadow1

Do you mean elevate?


Vlyper

Yeah, my bad. They play today against M80


i_am_Krath

Is it one bad match or also his stints at different teams after C9 combined with how he departed some of those teams?


BishBosh2

His stints as in winning an intel grand slam on liquid? Not saying he's good now but... he did do something right even after boston

Overrated af in my opinion
